Why Serious question...why not an internal cage? Not as ugly Everyone has different tastes though. Good luck mate

because i dnt want to damage it more than it already is lol i have already rolled it once and cant afford to fix it again haha

Fair enough...I wasn't trying to take the piss or anything, just curious

The main issue with Exo's is that it is VERY hard to get a decent amount of triangulation in the cage. Without triangulation the cage will have considerably less strength. Still better than having nothing, and quite effective for layovers, but rollovers will see it most likely deform, damaging the panels its there to protect......

It also depends what sort of wheeling you hope to do with it.

ahh thanks fellas.its as nice as a exo can be on the cheap i guess.I would love to own a soft top instead with a sweet internal cage and harnesses etc and a banged up body but i dont

i just wanted to learn to make something out of pipe,never used a bender before etc.Had a good mate help me too.Just bear in mind in all them pics its still mounted to the factory rear bumper which is body mounted and it will crack the body mounts etc.Im in the process of making something a little stonger and chassis mounted but trying to not go too heavy.

mine has been over on its side probably up to 20 odd times,some slight leans into banks etc but a few have been pretty hard all the way to flat ground.It has flexed and hot the body a couple of times but id hate to see it if the cage was never fitted.It paid for itself the first time.
